Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2013-08-12
The HIS 7950 IceQ X2 Boost Clock 3GB card sports a high performance cooling system along with a plate to avoid PCB bending, a custom design with more power phases and can also overclock to impressive levels in order to reach Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition performances or even exceed them.
In order to get access to the top side of the PCB, we have to remove quite a lot of screws; first we will take care of the 4 silver screws around the GPU:
The rest of the small black screws keep fixed the frontal metallic plate onto the PCB to help heat dissipation but also to avoid bending:
By removing the plate, we will finally have access to the PCB; some thermal pads might remain attached to the components:
This card is equipped with ELPIDA W2032BBBG memory ICs which are specifiet to run at 1500MHz:
In the middle we have the Tahiti Pro2 GPU fabricated at the 28nm process by TSMC and has 4.31 billion transistors:
The VRM controller is a CHiL CHL 8228G:
